One of the biggest challenges of living in New York City — besides the unreliable transit system — is the general lack of personal space. When rent for a tiny apartment is so astronomical, it's easy to end up in unconventional living situations, like living in a one-bedroom apartment with your ex-girlfriend who's luckily still your best friend and making a make-shift bedroom out of the living room (and yes, I'm talking about me).
Because I live in such a strange setup, and the walls in my apartment are paper-thin, I've found myself gravitating toward the quieter sex toys in my bedside drawer — or trying to muffle the sound with my blankets when I inevitably forget to charge those ones. But it's not just New Yorkers who find themselves in need of a quiet vibe now and then; maybe you're also in an awkward roommate situation, or you're planning to visit your parents for a few weeks and don't want to go that long without a trusty vibrator. Whatever your situation, I've got you covered.
Ahead, you'll find some of the quietest vibrators you can buy. Just remember: If the goal is silent solo sex, you have to be just as quiet as your vibrator. Shhhhh...

Unbound Divvy
This cute sex toy is meant to be used hands-free. Nestle it in your underwear and use the remote to switch up between the three intensity settings and three patterns of vibration. Every one of those options are super-quiet — it's the ultimate sneaky vibe.
LELO Mia 2
This classic lipstick-style vibrator is perfectly compact and discreet. Reviewers rave that it's both super quiet and very powerful thanks to its six speed settings.
Dame Products Pom
The Dame Pom is a discreet little toy that you could easily leave out on the coffee table without arousing suspicion. It's also covered in a squishy silicone that not only makes it softer and more comfortable to grind on than toys made of harder plastic, but also muffles the sound of the motor. Bonus: It's totally waterproof, so feel free to bring this into the shower.
Tenga Iroha Mini
The Iroha Mini is as quiet as it is discreet. If you're looking for a silent clit vibe that you can bring on vacation without raising suspicious of the TSA, then this is one to consider.
Adam & Eve Rechargeable Finger Vibe
According to reviewers, this itty-bitty brings the power (in some reviewers, a little too much, even) while staying relatively quiet...even if you don't.
Discretion Lux Rabbit Vibrator
Rabbit vibes are known for their power and dual-stim action, making them not always the most hush-hush. Get the best of both worlds (ahem, mind-blowing sensations) with a shockingly quiet hum of a motor.
Je Joue Mimi Soft
This super-soft clit stimulator can be super quiet or cranked up to a powerful, rumbly finish. In other words, it's the best of both worlds.
Satisfyer Pro 2
Satisfyer's fan-favorite suction vibrator has a whisper quiet motor so you can enjoy all 11 different modes without disrupting your roommates.
LELO Sona 2 Cruise
The LELO Sona is one of the most popular, visually recognizable sex toys on the market — but that doesn't mean there wasn't room for improvement. For the brand's 2.0 version, they made the motor quieter than the original, and designed a more hollow, deeper "mouth" for increased clitoral stimulation.
We-Vibe Tango
This tiny-but-mighty lipstick vibe has eight super-quiet vibration modes that belie its compact appearance.
Crave Vesper
There's nothing like a vibrator that doubles as jewelry. On first glance, the Crave Vesper just looks like a chic necklace (which comes in gold or silver), but it's secretly a powerful little vibe that'll never buzz louder than a cellphone.
We-Vibe Bloom Kegel Exerciser
The Bloom kegel balls by We-Vibe are so silent, you can wear them while going about your daily errands and no one would even notice. These little balls are meant to help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, but they're also sure to get you off, because unlike most other kegel balls, these vibrate. Slip them inside with or without vibration to change up the sensation.
